If Windows' built-in screen-capture abilities satisfy you, you probably haven't tried HyperSnap-DX. With this professional utility, you can capture images you never could have before. For instance, you can grab only a button image, whether active or inactive, with or without the mouse pointer showing. The application also lets you nab stills from a video game while you're playing, or create a how-to slide show by capturing active regions at a constant size. The Capture menu lists all the keyboard shortcuts for available actions, and the help file tells you what those actions do. If you choose the wrong action, the built-in tools let you edit your screengrab. The trial version stamps all images with ads for the software, but you should be able to quickly figure out whether this program is one you want to pay for.
HyperSnap-DX lets you grab high-quality screen captures with ease. It offers powerful features that can be utilized by both professional and occasional users. Features include File/Open and File/Save dialog boxes, a powerful Page Setup dialog complete with print preview, and a toolbar that offers one-click shortcuts to the most frequently used menu functions. There's also a Crop-out function that allows you to select rectangular areas from your picture and turn them to white or to another "paper" color. Among the fixes in this beta version are improved resolution of bitmaps after crop operations, and resolution of a bug that corrupted 3Dfx game screen snapshots.
